Has anybody tried this router on the PS3?

It has 4 GigE ports and is draft N and can be set up as an access point.

I have the D-link DGL-4300.It also has 4 gigabit ports.The PS3 has a Gigabit port.It made a big difference with PS3 downloads.

Hah, Tripjammer.

I've already suggested that router to you before!

I have it. I don't use wireless for the PS3 though. If you'd like me to check the signal, I will...it's just a pain in the butt because I have MAC filtering.

I used to have 2 laptops connected wirelessly, 1 computer (my 2nd computer broke shortly after I moved it to my house) and PS2/3 wired to it. I have my router plugged into a Linksys 5 port gig switch and connect my 2 computers and sometimes my work laptop to that switch. My router is located in an enclosure in the master bedroom on the 2nd floor. My switch and computers are on the other side of the house, and I've brought the laptops there and still maintained a good connection while my fiance's laptop would maintain a very good signal strength. PS3 is located directly below in the Family room, where I get an excellent/very good signal strength with my laptop, and excellent with my fiance's laptop.

Haven't had any problems, though I did notice that my fiance's laptop (which is now broken) was getting a slightly better signal in the house than my laptop. Her wireless was (b) and mine was (g). Not sure why.

In any case, I'm happy with the DIR-655.

It shouldn't make that much of a difference unless you are transfer files from one machine to another. And they'd have to be pretty big files.

You are ultimately bottlenecked by your DSL/cable modem, which, last I checked, the affordable modems were only running 10/100 BASE-T.
